Benvinguts, passeu, passeu…

﻿NOTE: this notice affects only translations for upstream projects in Launchpad, and not the translations of Ubuntu packages.

Yesterday’s Launchpad rollout came with lots of translation goodness, such as better upstream imports, of which we’ll talk in more detail very soon.

However, as a side effect and due to a migration script not being run in the Launchpad side, we’d like to ask you to wait a bit to do new translations for upstream projects in Launchpad until we can run this script again and make sure new translations during this time are not reverted to suggestions.

It should take about a day to run the script, and after that you can keep translating as usual. We’ll send a new notice when the run has finished.

Notice that no translations will be lost in any case, but if you do any translation between that period, they will be reverted to suggestions, meaning that you’ll have to re-approve them. We simply ask you not to translate to avoid this temporary situation, and save you the additional effort.

In summary:

Please refrain from translating upstream projects in Launchpad until further notice (in about a day’s time).

We only do this to make sure new translations are not reverted to suggestions and to save translators effort. No translation loss will happen in any case.

We’d like to ask you to forward this notice to your translation teams.

This does not affect Ubuntu packages. You can keep translating Ubuntu as usual.
